According to the Android Developers Blog your device will get an over-the-air update if it’s already running an Android Marshmallow (previously known as Android M) preview.

There are a lot of new APIs and permissions in Android 6.0, so this August build gives some time to tinker with all the features before Marshmallow gets promoted to a final, public version in the fall.
